Three minutes a day to know about tennis in the world. Hello fans and friends, today is Sunday, February 6, 2022. Tune in to the news afternoon report provided by Tennis House.
Beijing time this morning, from the foreign media came the news, planning to play in the Argentine Buenos Aires Open next week's master brother Del Potro, suddenly hinted at the press conference that he may choose to retire after playing this game. "I know a lot of people are expecting me to be back on the pitch, but it's probably more like a goodbye than a return. I was desperate to keep going, but my knees had become a nightmare for me, and I felt pain even when I slept. Over the years, I tried everything I could with different doctors, but I couldn't fix it. "In a few weeks, I'll think about what my future path should be." But it's clear that I want to have the life that an average 33-year-old should have and no longer feel pain. It was a tough decision, but I wanted to be clear. ”
Although Del Potro did not say the word "retirement", it is clear that he will officially leave his beloved tennis court after participating in Buenos Aires or Rio de Janeiro. Seeing this news, many fans were quite surprised. Originally thought that he had finally waited for his recovery and comeback, expecting him to reappear on the field of steel whip forehand, I did not expect it to be a farewell. Some fans lamented that injuries are really ruthless to the master brother! If it weren't for the knee injury, he would have won more championships and achieved more in his career.
More fans said it was not a good thing that the Argentine chose to leave. Instead of dragging a sick leg, enduring pain, and risking a wheelchair for the rest of his life to compete for the championship, it is better to live an ordinary life in good health. I wish that every day after the retirement of the master brother will no longer have any illness, and I will be happy and happy!
